Although the two most common approaches to reduce facial redness include cosmetics to cover up the redness and also prescribed medication to help reduce to the physical triggers and reactions of facial redness, I am a firm believer that there is another approach which will have far better benefits than anything else.
What is this approach?
During a painful self study of my facial redness, one of the most powerful realisations I uncovered was the psychological connections between my current
state of mind and the resulting attacks of facial redness.
For example, in my pre-pubescent years I was relatively care free, with little stress, anxieties or other outside triggers that could enable sever blushing episodes. As I reached my mid to late teenage years I was still carrying a positive outlook on everything, even though I didn't really live a totally wholesome life - I didn't have a girlfriend, I was in debt; I didn't have a car or a place of my own.
However, as I reached my early to mid twenties I became involved in some damaging relationships and my alcohol consumption and general bodily disrespect kicked in.
I became lazy, negative and started to lose my self respect - resulting in a poor self image that I held in my mind.
Because I lost so much self respect, I became more anxious, paranoid and even extremely reclusive.
As I became more reclusive I started to really tear myself apart in terms of how I looked, how I viewed my life and the world I live in.
This was obviously a bad mental state to be in.
During this time, I experienced many bouts of facial redness. The frustration of working in jobs that I hated, along with not having many people to support me or lift my general confidence caused a vicious circle of blushing and facial redness - added to this the sheer embarrassment of going red every five minutes wherever I went or whoever I was with.
Then I met a lovely, lively and positive woman. We had a great relationship and I felt like a different person.
From the day I met her, I didn't feel uncomfortable or shy. There was this chemistry that seemed to ignore and block out my previous anxieties.
During our time together, I can barely recall one occasion where I experienced severe facial redness. I never even thought about it. I was happy. I felt confident because someone out there was interested in me. They didn't or wouldn't really give a damn if I did blush so the "pressure" was off.
This whole story of my growing up and experiencing different things in life led me to my strong belief that our mental state is directly related to the painful bouts of facial redness and blushing.
It became perfectly clear to me that whilst experiencing bad things such as stress, damaging relationships or lack of job satisfaction, I was experiencing the most blushing and facial redness episodes.
On the other hand, during positive relationships, having a good job, earning a little more money or achieving something that gave me a self confidence boost was the escape route from facial redness that I had longed for.
After years of wondering how to reduce facial redness, I think I finally cracked the code!
Obviously, these good qualities in life such as a good relationship, a good job and a better pay check are not always going to fall in your lap, yet they are more than worth their weight in gold if you are serious about reducing or even
eliminating your own facial redness problems for good.
I also understand that such goals are often blocked by the actual facial redness episodes themselves.
For example, you might worry about going for an interview if you think you might blush or you might worry about chatting to an attractive person if you think your face is going to go bright red and stay that way.
However, the moral of this story is that these worries can be eliminated when we stop thinking about the actual blushing, but instead think how we can become more confident so we can face any such challenges in life that ultimately will reward us with a better life free from blushing.
